This pretty little American Lady butterfly loves the flowers in our yard. It has been hanging around for a while now and so much fun to watch. Beautiful butterfly, don’t you think?
We were hiking down to the Morris Island Loop Trail when I saw this beautiful Red Admiral butterfly flitting about on the tall hedge. It stayed around for quite a while.
Love those vibrant colors! Have you ever seen a Red Admiral butterfly?
I hadn’t seen a Little Wood Satyr butterfly in a couple of years and this one was stunning. It landed on a leaf on the side of the Doane Rock Trail to Coast Guard Beach.
The Little Wood Satyr butterfly lives on woodland edges as well as salt marshes, which explains why we saw it there on that trail.
We were having a picnic breakfast at Fort Hill yesterday and were commenting that we hadn’t seen many Monarch butterflies this summer… maybe only a handful. And then this gorgeous one landed on the Milkweed plant nearby. Just beautiful…
